Although I'm having this problem with Dolphin it probably relates to windows generally. I'm new to KDE5. I've opened a Dolphin window but the menubar is off the top of the screen. How do I move it to on-screen? With KDE4 I would hold down the ALT key and use the move to move it, but that doesn't seem to work with KDE5.

This still works in a default Plasma installation, just tested here.
Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ... |

Thanks for your reply - Distro is Slackware-Current (15.0). The Plasma version appears to be 5.20.5. Linux kernel 5.10.15.
On other opened windows I can use the ALT-mouse technique, but only if the title-bar or menu-bar is visible and I click there. On any window, if I ALT-mouse on the body of the window, it does not work to move it. For this particular Dolphin window, the title and menubar are both off-screen and all I can see is the body of the window listing the "places" in the left side-bar. Is there another way? |

I found out the solution: right-click on the window icon in the taskbar > More Actions > Move. Subsequent mouse movements then will move that window around. This worked even when the window was entirely off all screens.

Edit: Found a fix: I can drag the thumbnail of the app in the desktop view in the taskbar and regain control of location.
I'm on Debian Bullseye and have a Firefox window where the top of the page is off screen. The <alt>drag does not work. When I right click on the taskbar icon the move and resize options are grayed out. Thanks!

FWIW, the key for Alt+drag is configurable in KDE between Alt and Meta. For me, Meta is the Windows key.
I actually prefer this setting because the Win key is otherwise pretty useless, and because it makes sense because it moves windows. |
